Smartproxy Residential Proxies

If you want to close an application running in the background while using PyQt5 and Selenium in Python, you can use the pyautogui library to simulate keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks that trigger the application's exit action.

Here's an example using PyQt5 for the GUI and Selenium for web automation, along with pyautogui to close the application:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QPushButton
from selenium import webdriver
import pyautogui
import sys
import time

class MyMainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyMainWindow, self).__init__()

        # Create a button to close the application
        self.close_button = QPushButton("Close Application", self)
        self.close_button.clicked.connect(self.close_application)

    def close_application(self):
        # Add code here to close the application or trigger the exit action
        print("Closing application")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Create the PyQt application
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = MyMainWindow()
    main_window.show()

    # Start the Selenium WebDriver
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    try:
        # Navigate to a webpage (you can replace this with your Selenium code)
        driver.get("https://example.com")

        # Simulate a user interacting with the application
        # ...

        # Simulate closing the application using pyautogui
        time.sleep(2)  # Wait for the application to be in focus
        pyautogui.hotkey('alt', 'f4')  # Simulate pressing Alt+F4 to close the active window

    finally:
        # Close the Selenium WebDriver
        driver.quit()

    # Start the PyQt application event loop
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

- The MyMainWindow class is a basic PyQt5 window with a button.
- The close_application method is connected to the button's click event and prints a message.
- After starting the Selenium WebDriver, you can simulate user interactions with the application.
- pyautogui.hotkey('alt', 'f4') simulates pressing Alt+F4, a common keyboard shortcut to close the active window.

A VPN server address is an IP address or domain name through which you access the Internet. All traffic will be redirected through it. And the address is specified by the user, you can get it directly from the VPN-service, which provides such a service.

A proxy in data centers is usually a separate server that processes incoming requests and then distributes them to the submitted addresses (or IP). Also through the proxy it is possible to allocate a specific user a separate IP address for connection (for example, if he needs a virtual server).

Not all routers support proxies, this nuance should be clarified with the manufacturer. But many of the routers from Asus, TP-Link, Xiaomi work well with this type of connection. All this is configured through the web interface. By the way, for some routers, custom Padavan firmware is also available. The proxy works best there, especially in the presence of the OpenVPN plugin.

Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.
